We spent the whole day (8 hours) at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum and could have used more time. Neither my husband nor I are rabid baseball fans, but we thoroughly enjoyed it. We even bought the National Baseball Hall of Fame Almanac at the bookstore.
We liked the town of Cooperstown--very quaint with lots of interesting...

the HOF lived up to the dream. We actually got married in the Hall of Fame and the staff there were all so wonderful, that it made it an even more special experience. Beyond the ceremony, the Hall and museum were amazing. We ended up spending three days in the museum to soak it all in. There is so much...

I have visited the HOF at least once every year for decades and it always enlightens, educates and brings back fond memories of a simpler when pick up games, self-umpiring and do-overs taught us all about leadership, fair play and friendship.
The high tech Records display, where you can research lifetime and current stats for almost every category imaginable is...

The entire history of the game in one place. I hardly know where to start. The exhibits, the plaques, the card collection...Fantastic! Absolute heaven for an old baseball junky like me. There is nothing I didn't like. If you're a baseball fan this is a must see.

My husband is the ultimate baseball (Yankees) fan. It takes several hours (3-4) to see everything; but it's worth the time

We wanted to go to The Hall of Fame for years and loved every minute of it! We are lifelong Phillies fans and really enjoyed all the exhibits where they were highlighted! It took us one full day to see everything we wanted to see:-) It was a thrill to be amongst all the old timers and we loved reading...

Lots of interesting things to see. If you belong to AAA, you get a discount on admission. Fun for kids as young as 8, yet also a good time for 88 year olds. Great gift shop!

Not the best mueseum I have been to. The whitewash regarding the use of performance enhancing drugs/substances in baseball is kind of a turn-off. I think they could do a MUCH better job educating on the negatives to such use. Also the multimedia presentation was highly disappointing. Still had a good visit, but it could be so much more! Just...

this was my second time to the Hall of Fame and found this time to be rather disappointing. It seems like the displays were different and part of museum was closed.
